Revenue Reform.

Representative Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, has published letter urging the
importance of concert Of action among
the Democrats for the reduction of taxa
ton. The one thing to which the Dem
ocratic party is pledged is the revision
of the tariff. If the pledge has not
been redeemed, it is because a faction
under the lead of Mr.. Randall, has
co-operated with the Republicans for
the defeat of the bills which were pre-
pared with that object. 1t is now pro-
posed by Mr.. Breckenridge and other
Democratic leaders, in a spirit of con-
cession, to couple with a reduction of
an enlargement of the free list, modi-
fcation Of the tax on tobacco, in order
to secure the cooperation of Mr.. Ran
dali and his followers. On one condi-
ton only, will the Revenue Relormers
sanction such a measure If there is to
be a reduction Of the tobacco tax, il
must be accompanied as part Of the
programme for a reduction Of the tariff
tax. \ reduction of the whisky tax, is
of course, not to be thought Of; nor the
tobacco tax either, for that matter
except as means of getting rid Of the
odious tax on the necessaries Of life
The Democratic party is pledged tC
devote the Internal Revenue tax, which
is paid voluntarily, "to the relief of the
people from the remaining burdens Of
the war" and the payment Of sucl
pensions as Congress may from time Il
time grant to the soldiers"

w. I'll. Heard, colored, of Charleston,
8. c., who complained TO the Interstate
Commerce Commission of discrimination
against him ON account of color by the
Georgia railroad, has reduced his COM
plant to the form of an affidavit, which
document has been received by the
Commission. 1t sets forth that COM
plainant having purchased frst-class
ticket from Cincinnati to Charleston, he
was compelled by the employees of the
Georgia Railroad Company, at Atlanta,
to enter "what is known on said Georgia
railroad as the Jim Crow car" This
car, he AYERS, was inferior to the first
class cars, was dirty, and one half Of il
was smoking-car. He asks that the
said Georgia railroad be compelled to
furnish equal accommodation to persons
holding frst-class tickets irrespective
of race or color, according to the act Of
Congress ia such cases made and pro
vided."
If complainant paid for first class ac
commodation and received only seeonC
class, he has genuine grievance; but i
he was assigned to car equally as vel
equipped and comfortable in all respect
as the best, it is no just cause of com
plant. In other words, the right of tn
railroads to provide separate cars TO
whites and blacks is not interfered wit
by the Interstate Commerce act. VIVA
they are required to do, is to furnisl
equal accommodations for equal pa
without regard to race, color or previou
condition.

The National Finances.

The report of the fiscal year, just
closed, shows that the receipts from al
sources were 1871, $3.50, 1874, which il
more than million day, and, exclud.
ing Sundays and holidays, is more than
81, 200, 900 per day. There was in round
numbers an increase in the receipts
over the fiscal year closing June 80,
1886, of s35, 900, 900, and of this s25, 00O,.
600 came from the customs duties alone.
The expenditures increased also some
$40, 000, 900, which was made up pretty
equally from an increase in pensions
and in the civil and miscellaneous,
which include all the ordinary expenses
of administration.
As all the public debt subject to
Judgment before 1892 has been cancelled,
and the holders of the immatured obi
cations of the government viii not con
sent to their payment in advance, except
at enormous rates, the surplus will
accumulate at the rate of more than
500, 900, 900 annually, unless it is dis
posed of by extravagant expenditures
or the taxes are reduced. Justice and
sound policy require that the latter
course should be adopted. Reduce the
tax on the neeessaries of life, and let
the tax on the luxuries whisky, etc.
stand until the national obligations,
present and future (including pensions)
are discharged.

Big Black Railroad Bridge.


Nieksborg Ger. y. 0. Picsyune.
Capt J. II. Willard United states
engineer in charge Of all work for tie
improvement OF the tributary streams
in this department, has notified the
board Of supervisors Of this county that
unless all bridges over Big Black river
be so constructed az TO not obstruct nav
igation, no part of the appropriation of
5000 made by the last Congress would
be used. The following appears in the
act making the appropriation: "Improy-
ing Big Black river, Miss, continuing
improvement, $4,000; provided, that no
part of this appropriation shall be used
until the State of Mississippi shall have
first caused the bridges over said stream
south of the Vicksburg and Meridian
Railroad to be so constructed Is not
to obstruet the navigation of said
stream"
Captain Willard thought it would be
matter of no great difficulty or expense
county had only two bridges below
that of the V. and NJ. Railroad. II
would necessitate, however, the con
struction of drawbridges or bridges high
enough to allow vessels to pass under
them, or else the maintenance Of ferries
instead Of bridges-the latter he though
the most profitable plan in many re
spects-
On interviewing Mr.. Barksdale, GU
late Representative from the 9TH Dis
trict, through whose efforts, mainly, the
appropriations Cor cleaning out Big Blacl
river, were obtained, we learn that tn
United States engineers have invariabl.
reported that for steamboats,, its naviga
boats, could be assured and besides, grea
benefits would result from such work i

but had advised against appropriation
for that purpose until the railroa'
bridges which obstruct navigation, ar
removed Consequently the last appro
priation could be obtained only with tn
condition above prescribed. A simila
proviso was inserted in the bill whic
passed the House at the last session @
the 10th Congress, from which th
President withheld his siguatnre, but
was stricken out in the Senate, despit
the earnest protests Of our Senators

The Supreme Bench Vacancy.

Latest Washington reports have cas-

Supreme Bench; and the opinion is ex
pressed that the appointment is still ar
open question. Probably there is nc

correspondent of the " T. Herald, who
says; "Whoever is appointed to the

Bench, it is understood that he will moi
be named until Congress meets next

October next, but such a thing as Asso

Spurious Democracy.

Tariff organs, says the Philadelphia
Record, quote the resolution of the Dem
ocratic platform of 1884 as saying thai
the system of direct taxation known as
internal revenue is "war tax" Hall
quotations made for purposes Of decep
ton are as bad in morals as is deliberate
falsehood. The resolution declared that
war taxes should be devoted to the pay
ment of the "wa- debt" which still
amounts to more than billion dollars

peal of the taxes on whisky and tobacco
in order to prevent reduction of the
tariff are doubly false to the pledges Of

JUDGE DEADY, of the u. S. District
Court of Oregon, has rendered decis.
ion, that under the Interstate Commerce
act, the conditions of water competition
are such as to justify the railroads in
charging more for the short haul than
the long one, and that rates for through
freights established during the period
of ninety days continue. The Supreme
Court will, no doubt, soon be called
upon to coIstrue the law. Meantime,
it may be well for Congress to make the
disputed provisions so plain that even
the railroads and their attorneys will be
able to understand them.
